Halle Berry Defines Sexy

Esquire, the men’s mag, just named new mom Halle Berry, “Sexiest Woman Alive, 2008.” Not bad for a 42-year-old woman who spent a quarter of the year with a baby bump! Humbled, yet perplexed, by the honor after being in the business for 21 years, Berry asked, “Does being the sexiest woman alive imply that I know a thing or two about what’s sexy and, possibly, about sex itself? I’m not sure, but here’s what I do know: I know damned well I’m sexier now than I used to be!” Girl, you always looked good to us! So, in honor of Ms. Berry, who reminds us that, “Sexy is not about wearing sexy clothes or shaking your booty until you damn near get hip dysplasia; it’s about knowing that sexiness is a state of mind,” here are some other sexy women we’d like to congratulate for being who they are, just like Halle! [Esquire]

Fashion Slideshow: Fun (Non-Traditional) Fashion Icons

When it comes to fashion, most celebrities play it safe, wearing what is expected and what has been previously accepted. If Gwyneth needs to walk a red carpet, then her stylist calls up Giorgio Armani for a vintage gown that is sure to turn heads, but not ruffle any feathers. And what we end up having is a bunch of hyper-stylized “fashionistas” that can hardly dress themselves. So we decided to put together a slideshow of famous women that have really fun, uniquely-cultivated styles. And sometimes they veer completely left, but that’s what makes them so interesting and admirable. Keep reading »

The Frisky’s Top Five Additions (And Subtractions) To Maxim’s Hot 100

Maxim just released their latest Hot 100 list and swimsuit model Marissa Miller grabbed the top spot.
